Good looking ship. I 'll probably pick one up next year as I've pretty much run my list up with pre-orders this year.

Well, I am going to 100% pass this one up for a while. It does look fantastic, but I am holding out for a Prinz Eguen.

or wait a couple years when price goes down and is bundled with goodies as a "high grade" edition, like they did for couple hvy cruisers like the Nachi.

Man, another IJN 1/350 offering. Us 1/700 scalers are getting passed by lately. Maybe the Soryu in a few months will make up for it.

Passed by!, you've got to be joking, there has to be a plastic 1:700 model of every IJN ship ever launched out there. Apart from Tamiya's Yamato & Musashi, there were no other 1:350 IJN ships up till last year. I say it's about damn time!

Alright you got me there, that is true about the 350 ships. It would still be nice to see a few more of those 700 scale kits in a new tooling.
